It also caused a fire in an area of 300 square meters in the educational center, which was controlled a few hours later.

The Ukrainian Air Force stated that the attack was carried out with 21 Iranian-made drones, which took off from the Russian region of Bryansk, of which 16 were intercepted by Kiev's defense batteries.

Also this Wednesday (22), the Russian Navy announced that it prevented a drone attack against the port of Sevastopol, on the Crimean peninsula, annexed by Moscow.

“The Black Sea Fleet prevented a drone attack against Sevastopol,” declared the Moscow-appointed governor of the city, Mikhaiil Razvojayev. “Three devices were destroyed,” he added.

Razvojayev said the operation did not cause any casualties or damage to ships, but that the explosions broke some windows in nearby buildings.
